Like with exact=True returns empty results

[virtualengineer]

I have a condition where doing a transform search for all children with like filtering returns an empty result if I try to do an exact match.

pseudo hierarchy

-my_model:root
  -- my_model:my_control_offset
      -- my_model:my_control_space
          --my_model:my_control_driven
             --my_model:my_control

doing: using(my_model:root).get(AllChildren).short().like('my_control')
results in: my_control, my_control_driven, my_control_space, my_control_offset

doing: using(my_model:root).get(AllChildren).short().like('my_control', exact=True)
results in: nothing

I think the correct behavior should be a returned result of: my_control
Please let me know if this is a bug or if I am not using the api correctly.

Don't know how I missed this -- I guess it was the pandemic :(

I'm not sure if this is exactly a "bug", I believe it's because the exact test is very dumb, and thus it doesn't like namespaces. Did it work if you tried .like('mymodel:my_control', exact=True)?
